It is important to Nigel that his artwork sits well within a family setting and adds interest to a home without any need for interpretation.

Nigel loved to draw from a very young age. Starting with a love of drawing animals and monsters he has travelled through genres such as steam trains, pets, portraits and caricatures until finally his nostalgic love of toys and sweets has led him to his current portfolio,

Nigel's work is held in a number of private collections around the world and he has recently been awarded the Washington Green In:Sight 2016 Peoples Choice Award for his collection of Pop Vinyl Toy Paintings
